We are on the path to an explosion in mobile broadband
usage that will put an unprecedented level of pressure on the capacity of
wireless networks. This traffic explosion is fueled by continual enhancements in
devices, expansions of applications, improvements in network performance, and
evolution toward cloud based computing. This growth in mobile broadband usage
is also very strategic for countries and regions. Mobile broadband is being
seen as a platform for opportunity that can spur economic growth, job creation and
solutions to address national concerns.

Though LTE and LTE-Advanced are poised
to be the dominant mobile broadband and broadcast technologies to support this
project traffic growth, technology improvements alone will not be able to keep
up with the ballooning network capacity demand. In short, the mobile industry
needs the Digital Dividend spectrum. The allocation of the Digital Dividend
spectrum for mobile networks will reduce deployment costs and bring broadband
to remote regions of the world— bridging the digital divide and making
broadband services more affordable to the masses. The intent of this paper is
to provide information on the benefits of using the Digital Dividend spectrum
for mobile broadband, particularly with LTE technology, and to encourage regulators
to move quickly toward allocating this spectrum for mobile broadband given its
potential for providing social and economic benefits. READ WHITEPAPER FOR FURTHER INSIGHTS
